Adverse Effect of Deforestation on Enviroment

Deforestation is the removal of stand of trees from the land, which would later be converted to a non-forest use (i.e, cutting down of trees without planting others to replace them). Deforestation could lead to:

Environmental degradation, which is the deterioration of the environment via exhaustion of natural resources (air, water and soil). It is a major threat on the environment, because it could reduce the capacity of the environment to meet social and ecological needs.

Deforestation is a major cause of global warming and loss of biodiversity.
